I like the way they feel even with the stock shafts. The ball flight is great on the 3 wood and the driver has a nice flight as well but will be flattened out even more when I get my new shafts put in these guys. The only problem is that I only hit 15 balls with my driver and I already hear a minor rattle in the head. It is an R9 so I'm wondering if when I change the shaft and screw everything in it will fix the problem of something being loose, but if its some glue in the head that came loose then I will have to send the club back to Taylormade or deal w/ the sound.

Anyone have experience w/ a rattle in their driver head (specifically the R9)? I had a friend who had a rattle in his Callaway Great Big Bertha back in the day but that's it.

or a weight may be loose?

That's what I'm hoping. I figured w/ all the screws it could be any one of them. The club was brand new out of the plastic shipped directly from Taylormade so I assumed everything was on tight and ready to be hit but maybe I was wrong..

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
